Mary Strode, MS, California Department of Public HealthAbstractPolicy and Deliberation: Evaluating Tobacco Law Enforcement Roundtables (Tobacco Sales to minors)In 2008 the California Department of Public Health’s Tobacco Control Program set out to conduct a series of roundtables with local law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders in four different sites throughout California to explore local tobacco retail licensing implementation and enforcement challenges and solutions in order to reduce the sale of tobacco to minors. In order to learn whether or not this format was going to be useful for advancing statewide health policy compliance and enforcement, the workgroup decided to evaluate the roundtable events. The purpose of this presentation is to share the evaluation planning and preliminary findings of this ongoing effort to help reflect on deliberation evaluation. The mixed methods approach used for this evaluation is informed by the literature on assessing policy change efforts and on deliberation. It has been quite formative in the roundtable events thus far.
